2) potential energy of this system.

उत्तर
1) `F_"net" = "KQ"^2/(2a^2) + (sqrt2KQq)/a^2`
2) Potential energy of the system = `(4KQq)/a + "KQ"^2/(sqrt2a) + (Kq^2)/(sqrt2a)`

If one of the two electrons of a H2 molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecular ion `"H"_2^+`. In the ground state of an `"H"_2^+`, the two protons are separated by roughly 1.5 Å, and the electron is roughly 1 Å from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of zero potential energy.
Consider a uniform electric field in the z-direction. The potential is a constant ______.
In the circuit shown in figure initially, key K1 is closed and key K2 is open. Then K1 is opened and K2 is closed (order is important). [Take Q1′ and Q2′ as charges on C1 and C2 and V1 and V2 as voltage respectively.]
Then
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that V1 = V2
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ = Q2′
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that C1V1 + C2V2 = C1E
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ + Q2′ = Q
- In a quark model of elementary particles, a neutron is made of one up quarks [charge (2/3) e] and two down quarks [charges –(1/3) e]. Assume that they have a triangle configuration with side length of the order of 10–15 m. Calculate electrostatic potential energy of neutron and compare it with its mass 939 MeV.
- Repeat above exercise for a proton which is made of two up and one down quark.
- Assertion (A): Work done in moving a charge around a closed path, in an electric field is always zero.
- Reason (R): Electrostatic force is a conservative force.
Charges (+q) and (–q) are placed at points A and B respectively which are a distance 2L apart. C is the midpoint between A and B. What is the work done in moving a charge +Q along the semicircle CRD?
For a system of unlike charges (attractive force), an external agent must do work to separate them because the system:
The work done in bringing charge \[q_2\] from infinity to Position 2, in the electric potential \[V_1\] produced by the fixed charge \[q_1\] at separation \[r_{12}\], is:
For n charges \[q_1, q_2, \ldots, q_n\] at positions \[r_1, r_2, \ldots, r_n\], where \[r_{ij}\] is the distance between charge i and charge j, the total electrostatic potential energy of the system is:
For a pair of like charges, the positive potential energy (U > 0) physically signifies that:
